At Sports Cards Plus, a.k.a. The Super Hit Factory you pick your box from The BEST CASES in The Hobby at The LOWEST PRICES in The Galaxy (all of Texas). If you didn't make it in to "The Factory" last week, here is what you missed:
2014 Contenders Football (still ONLY $130 per box) is the favorite with all our customers. Everyone came to "The Factory" looking for Contenders Football Super Hits for our "$100.00 Contenders Football BEST PULL Contest. Marcos with his Odell Beckham Variation 2 Autographed RC was declared our $100.00 Winner. This card is so rare, only 3 have been listed on eBay.
It wasn't just 2014 Contenders Football producing the Super Hits at "The Factory." Leland decided 2014 Bowman Football (only $75.95) with 5 Autographs per box was a Super Deal. Here is Leland with his Odell Beckham 2014 Bowman Gold Refractor Auto RC #d/75. Our third pull in our store.
Rick came in for our 2014 National Treasures Box Group Break ($59.95 per spot and every spot gets one card from a Factory Sealed Box. Spot 1 gets the top card and the last card.). While he was here, Rick decided to try a box of 2013 Panini American's Pastime ($129.95 per box) and pulled this Stephen Strasburg & Mike Trout Autographed Book #d/5 and Triple Relic of Lou Gehrig, Albert Pujols and Manny Machado.
William knows The BEST CASES in The Hobby are at Sports Cards Plus. Here is will with HIS SECOND Peyton Manning 2014 Crown Royal Autographed Silhouette Jersey Patch #d/18. This makes THREE pulled in our store. And, The Legend of The Super Hit Factory continues.
Brad decided that Super Hit Factory CASE of 2013 Panini America's Pastime still had more great hits. Here is Bad with his Mike Trout Autograph #d/25 and 1/1 Yasiel Puig Bat Knob. Yes, this could have been your picture if you picked your box from Sports Cards Plus. Be like Brad. Go to Sports Cards Plus TODAY and continue The Legend.
We lost count of all the Super Hits from 2014 Contenders Football. We had all kinds of parallel auto RCs, #d/99, #d/49, #d/10, and a few 1/1s. My best estimate is we had 8 Odell Beckham Autographed RCs, 14 Sammy Watkins, 10 Blake Brotles, 6 Johnny Manziel, 8 Teddy Bridgewater, 12 Jimmy Garoppolo, with a sprinkling of veteran stars and legends like Joe Montana 1/5, Tony Romo, and more. Here are some of the pictures below.
